Nearly sunset when I took this photo but then the clouds came in and there was no colour at all but I do like how this one worked.
The wind has beaten down several blooms but that is merely an opportunity to pick them and have them indoors.
We have had Spring-like sunshine and blue skies for four days, though accompanied by cold winds and I was reminded of Billy Collins’ poem, Today. We look forward to the properly warm Spring days with the ‘intermittent warm breezes’ that make us ‘want to throw open all the windows.’ I love the idea of releasing the little inhabitants of the snow domes!
Today
If ever there were a spring day so perfect,so uplifted by a warm intermittent breezethat it made you want to throwopen all the windows in the houseand unlatch the door to the canary’s cage,indeed, rip the little door from its jamb,a day when the cool brick pathsand the garden bursting with peoniesseemed so etched in sunlightthat you felt like takinga hammer to the glass paperweighton the living room end table,releasing the inhabitantsfrom their snow-covered cottageso they could walk out,holding hands and squintinginto this larger dome of blue and white,well, today is just that kind of day.

Very happy about that. It is a very pleasing piece. I love lots of Billy Collins’ writing. We saw him once when we lived in Yorkshire and I’ve enjoyed his work since. 🙂
